Responsible Tourism Make a difference by choosing a sustainable, authentic tourism experience here in Winnipeg. DAY 1 The Forks, Winnipeg's most-visited tourist attraction, marks an area saturated in Indigenous history, as artifacts have been found dating back 6,000 years at this meeting point of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. Parks Canada explores this fascinating history with the Campfires and Community school program, which uniquely presents one of Manitoba's oldest traditions — storytelling. Enter a tipi where students will be captivated by Indigenous legends presented from a Parks Canada interpreter. They will learn the significance of colours while making their own medicine wheel bracelet, before participating in a storytelling game that tells of the Selkirk Settlers and their struggle to build a community in the Red River area. Also located at The Forks is one of Canada's newest — and greenest — museums. The Canadian Museum for Human Rights (CMHR) takes visitors on a journey through the evolution, celebration and future of human rights from Canada and around the world. Witness a range of historical and contemporary world events and stories that explore what can happen when human rights are denied, or explore gender stereotypes and how these challenges continue to persist today. Running between one and two hours, each of its curriculum-based programs allows students to explore and discuss human rights issues through hands-on learning and activities. DAY 2 Assiniboine Park Zoo's Journey to Churchill is both the world's foremost Arctic species exhibit, along with being home to a state-of- the-art research facility on northern animals and ecosystems. Its View to the Arctic: An Ecological and Environmental Journey offers a full day experience, which sees your student group learning about Arctic and Subarctic species at the zoo, before heading to the Manitoba Museum for more hands-on learning centered around Inuit and Indigenous ingenuity.
